What happened to old wildblue/exede forum

What happened to the other wildblue/exede forums? There was no notification that it was being taken down, and why did I have to register a new user and password for this forum. I was user Rebel Rider on the old one. And what happened to my wildblue email account.

Surprised they didn't just put the forum into a read-only mode and keep it online for archival purposes. Surely it wouldn't cost much resource wise to keep an SQL database and website online on in a VM on one of their rack servers. >.>

It was not the Worldwide Wildblue/Exede forum, it was just the Wildblue form. I was just on there a few days ago and there was nothing about it being taken down. And yes my email is gone, when I try to login all I get is a user agreement page. And I can't send or receive from it.

I'm not talking about the Wildblue World forum, I've never heard of it. This was just the Wildblue/Exede forum, it was much easier to navigate than this one. I was just on there a few days ago, I didn't see an announcement. And I don't see any of the Exede employees on this forum that were on the other one.
